Especially something with a little crunch to it.<BR/><BR/>Actually, the chord progression we jammed on a bit on Sunday was (accidentally) the one that I posted on the DD site (just listened back to it), only I made it a bit more rhythmic and fun. Feel-good grunge. It definitely works as a vehicle for jam-a-lam-a-ding-dong. There *must* be a song in there somewhere!?<BR/><BR/>How does a virtual meeting work, exactly?<BR/><BR/>I'm off on hols (yay!) for 9 days from Saturday, in case I drop off the face of the planet... I doubt they have internet in the desert...Ken Skinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02970490152285414561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7277883507595966283.post-88335464825449175242008-09-02T14:38:00.000+01:002008-09-02T14:38:00.000+01:00Only in Spinal Tap.

Saddened, but not shocked.<BR/><BR/>It doesn't have to be metal to be big rock. And big rock is good.<BR/><BR/>It certainly sounds like it could be the start of something. Good luck with it.Dave Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15052163927020492687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7277883507595966283.post-54923112472938037822008-09-02T14:10:00.000+01:002008-09-02T14:10:00.000+01:00Right lads - I've spoken with Steve and we need to...Right lads - I've spoken with Steve and we need to call a virtual Dead Dictators meeting. We want to drop the banna loving epoch concept adn conentrate on music - any music. He's a fan of what Ken wrote and posted, so we can start weith that plus I've got a few bin ends that want a bit of polish. Furtheron - you need to sart working on contributing some songs.

A lot of Les Paul evidence that would have put your concerns to bed about that guitar in that setting but looks like you didn't need it...<BR/><BR/>I generally have found drummers don't so much self distruct as just self confuse :-) My experience is mostly that they simply start to forget they are in a band, their name etc. Or start trying to tune their tom toms to some odd Indian scale...

I'd wager that while you were playing with everybody and swept up in the band that you didn't care too much about the genre at the time? This could be a great starting point for 'the project' so my advice would be to just roll with it and not think about it too much. You never know, you and the drummer could one day end up shacked up together and pounding out a different kind of boogie yuk yuk yuk.
